Tom Kim chases Asian Games gold to avoid South Korean military service
Original: Golf star Tom Kim going from Presidents Cup to Asian Games seeking exemption from military service
South Korean golf star Tom Kim will go straight from the Presidents Cup to the Asian Games, where a gold medal could earn him an exemption from mandatory military service. South Korean men must serve roughly 18-21 months, and athletes who win major international titles can be spared, making the Hangzhou Games a high-stakes event for the young golfer.
Why now: His military service deadline makes his Asian Games results unusually consequential, drawing attention to a rare career dilemma for a top athlete.
